Have you ever sent an email to someone you didn’t know that well?
It could have been a follow up email to someone you met at an event, a potential employer, or someone you reached out to because you wanted to get to know them.
What do you think is the first thing that person does after reading your email?
They search for you on LinkedIn to see who you are, what you do, and connections you both have in common. Your LinkedIn profile could be the deciding factor whether that person writes you back.

That’s how I met, John, too. He impressed me with the best introduction message I have ever received on LinkedIn. So refreshing, especially in light of how many strangers approach others on LinkedIn without so much as a personalized message of any kind.
